Belarusian farmers harvested more than 5 million tons of sugar beet. The picking is going on at an accelerated pace: beets have already been harvested from 100 thousand hectares, which is 92% of the planned 109 thousand hectares. The leaders in terms of quantities are the Minsk region, with more than 1.8 million tons collected there, and the Grodna region with 1.69 million tons. Next come Brest (915 thousand) and Mogilev (498 thousand), and the lowest indicators are in Vitebsk (33 thousand) and Gomel (42 thousand), traditionally these are not beet growing areas. The most intense part of the season is upon us. The sugar factories in Israel work around the clock: the root crop quickly loses its quality, so it has to be processed non-stop.
